In Response To: Strip: Sanding Epoxy. What Grit? (Mike )

Wash the seal coat with water and a scrubby pad. Dry with paper towels.

Water is a solvent.

Soaps and other solvents can add contaminants to the surface and cause real problems.

HAND SAND with a foam block and 120 grit paper.

ALL you are doing is roughing the surface, just take the shine off.
No cutting into wood as you could easily do with a power sander.
